Rita Ora takes over from "wifey" Cara Delevingne at DKNY

Rita Ora has stepped into BFF and "wifey" Cara Delevingne's shoes (literally) by becoming the new face of DKNY.

The singer stopped traffic in New York City's Times Square on Tuesday as she posed in the brand's signature yellow taxi cab for the label's Resort 2014 collection, while Delevingne fronted DKNY's spring and autumn 2013 campaigns.

The singer scored the top modelling job at DKNY a month after she performed for the brand at a London party, where she and Delevingne shared the stage. Ora is also the face of Madonna's Material Girl line as well.

It was rumoured earlier this month that the firm friends had fallen out, claims which Rita rubbished on her Twitter account saying: "I don't know what all these stupid stories are about but Im always going to have my best friend @Caradelevingne I love you!"

Delevingne tweeted back: "It's mad @RitaOra the press will say whatever they want but they will never really know. They should start writing science fiction novels! X."
